A key part of the Euromillions Euro lottery is the El Gordo lottery which you may well wish to know more about. This lottery is well-known for jackpots that are among the world’s biggest - payouts up to more than two and a half billion Euros. Even that isn’t all that’s remarkable here. The El Gordo Lottery offers up more than thirteen thousand prizes, which works out to a prize winner for every six contestants. Pretty good, actually, by the standards of the prizes promoted by other branded lotteries. There is one draw per month under the banner of the Euromillions Euro lottery. Three months a year see special drawings offering still bigger prizes. To wit: January’s “El Nio”, the summer “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “El Gordo”with the Xmas El Gordo lottery being the biggest of the lot. Unusually for lottery systems, the balls required by the El Gordo lottery draw display five digits on each, in a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw a ball is selected from a bowl to find the winning number while a second is pulled out of the second bowl to find the prize value. Should you want to get in on the action there is a full ticket called a “serie”. The other option is cheaper; called a “décimo” worth one tenth of a full ticket. Neither alternative is particularly cheap, though, and obviously neither has an optimal chance of being a winner. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lottery has put an e-lottery system into place.

This system can guarantee a prize for everyone who takes part. All you do is buy into the El Gordo Lottery syndicate and they’ll pool you into teams. Each team is assigned a number ranging from zero to nine when the drawing is held, the last number on the winning ball identifies which team will receive the money. All members then receive an even share of the money. Afterward, subscriptions are sold ready for the lottery held next month. Sharing the prizes is cause for concern for some people. The thing is, there’s still a lot of money to go around when the total prize was 2.6 billion Euros. As you’re guaranteed to win each month, the e-lottery syndicate system is both more cost effective and less of a worry as you know you’ll get a return. E-lottery is the smarter way to play.
